  Abstract

Acetone is a widely used Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) in industries and laboratories. However, acetone affects human health adversely and causes fires and explosions. Early acetone detection and improved personnel training in safety and emergency management are necessary to prevent acetone-related accidents. The multi-VOC acetone detectors used currently have a sensitivity and selectivity limit. In this study, we discovered that Pt-loaded iron oxide (a metal oxide semiconductor) conversely, has high detection and selectivity for very low-levels of acetone gas. The loaded Pt catalyzes the reaction between the sensing materials’ surface and the oxygen molecules in the air; this optimizes acetone detection and can decrease acetone-related illnesses, fires and explosions.
